Most Impressive Zone Gains & Losses: Scott Amory
Scott Amory was as dedicated to the Zone Diet and the Competition as his wife Kristy over the six week period. While his times have gotten faster on his benchmark workouts, his most impressive "loss" has been the 17 pounds that he shed during the Competition. When taking into account that muscle weighs more than fat, to loose almost twenty pounds in six weeks while getting significantly stronger is absolutely amazing!
Scott lost seventeen pounds, going from 280 pounds down to 263 pounds. And, his Fran time went from 9:37 down to a PR of 7:25! (He only used a rack for the first Fran.) He also scored about 60 points higher on Tabata Something Else yesterday!
Check out the before and after pictures that Scott was kind enough to let us post.
Scott at the CFSC Beach Workout on May 17th, the weekend before he started the Competition.
Check out how different Scott looks now after just eight weeks of training four times a week and Zoning strictly! While loosing weight through Zoning has been a big accomplishment for Scott, my guess is that he is most proud of his performance gains in the gym! So are we!
Scott, Thanks for setting such an inspiring example of what dedication, determination and motivation can accomplish!

Scott you are amazing! That is real determination! Congratulations. You worked hard for this and have been a great role model for all of us! Where were you when I was on Half Dome Monday? I almost quit so many times. I could have used you to coach me on!

I am so proud of you, Scott! It brings me to tears to see the before and after shots. You have made commitment to Crossfit and the Zone part of our lives and have taken us both to a new level as athletes and as a couple. I couldn't ask for more. I am SO lucky! :)

Looking Good Scotty. Watching you a Kristy the last few weeks and even the last several months is like watching a caterpillar turn into a butterfly. You both have proved that CrossFit is not a mere strength and conditioning program but a way of life. I am proud of you two.

Yes, Gloria, the buy-in today is 6! Welcome!
Scott, I already said it, but I'll say it again; I am so impressed by the way you set a goal and made it happen! Congrats!

Thanks for the kind words all. I'm just glad it's a before and after shot and not the reverse :). Seriously though it wouldn't have gone as good for me if it weren't for everyone at the gym inspiring me. You're all awesome and help me push myself beyond my limits. Thank you all!
Whose ready for another Zone challenge?
